10 Results Attribute Ratings The scale used to rate the attributes is an 11-point confirmation scale, incorporating both perception and customer expectation Voted as the current best psychometric scale available Much worse than expected Much better than expected A score above 5 (as expected) can be seen as performing as it should. A score above 7.5 indicates attribute is out performing the clients expectations more often than not. A score above 9 indicates world class performance. Slide 10
11 Relationship Comparison On a scale ranging from '0' (Much worse than expected) to '10' (Much better than expected), how would you rate the following? You may also choose any number in between, depending on how strongly you feel Good working relationship with journalists, from a government spokesperson s point of view. Please rate the following statement: Survey Score Very Poor (0, 1) Low to Mid (2, 3, 4) Average (5) Mid to High (6, 7, 8) Excellent (9, 10) Your working relationship with jourmalists. Government Spokesperson % 9% 55% 2 Your working relationship with government spokespersons. Journalist % 45% 19% 17% Relationship with government spokespersons, from a journalist s point of view, is very weak. Slide 11
12 Relationship with Journalists Comments regarding the Government Spokespersons working relationship with Journalists Slide 12 Verbatim category Ethical conduct No problem Relationship Professionalism Trust & respect Situation, person & department dependent Follow-up & feedback Level of experience Selective attention/ importance Sometimes despite efforts to explain programmes and policies, some journalists will still distort the story. Journalists I know personally are generally more open to working together. 6% 6% 6% 6% 6% 6% 18% 24% 24% We are not friends but we can work together to get what each party requires from the other. I can also call them to ask for consideration of postponing the publication of stories With some it is better, but not with others mainly due to some unreasonable deadlines or by using dishonest means to gain information.
13 Relationship with Government Spokespersons Verbatim category Comments regarding the Journalists working relationship with Government Spokespersons Slide 13 Follow-up & feedback Spokesperson availability Queries answered within deadline Understanding of role Knowledge & competency Situation, person & department dependent Don't know Honesty Professionalism Helpful & willing Relationship Selective attention/ importance As promised Communication If you don t press them it will take weeks for them to reply to your s, if at all. They seldom, if ever, answer their phones and then try to rather avoid answering questions than assisting 6% 11% 9% 14% 17% 2 Takes too long to get back with comments and don't understand television comments need to be on camera. Most of the time they respond to queries, but not by the given deadline, even if you give them two or more days' time. The attitude is very often patronising and hostile. Sometimes if you get hold of a spokesperson they have no idea about a topical issue.
14 Relationship On a scale ranging from '0' (Much worse than expected) to '10' (Much better than expected), how would you rate the following? You may also choose any number in between, depending on how strongly you feel Please rate the following statement: Survey Score Very Poor (0, 1) Low to Mid (2, 3, 4) Average (5) Mid to High (6, 7, 8) Excellent (9, 10) Your experience resulting from interactions with journalists. Government Spokesperson % The availability of government spokespersons on contacting them to obtain information which you require. Journalist % 12% 1 The turn-around time by government spokespersons on leaving a message(s) for them to return your call(s) and/or (s). Journalist % 49% 7% 2% The extent you - as a government spokesperson - feel empowered to optimise your role as government spokesperson. Government Spokesperson 7.0 5% 1 14% 48% 24% Lowest scoring statement. Slide 14
15 Experience resulting from interactions with Journalists Comments regarding the experience resulting from interactions with Journalists Slide 15 Good experience Trust & respect Ethical conduct Don't know Knowledge & competency Verbatim category The majority of Government Spokespersons view their interaction with Journalists as a good experience, linking back to the high score regarding their relationship. Very good and I ensure that when selling the story, I provide as much information and am available to assist with any other enquiry. 9% 9% 18% 18% 45% Our Head of Communication has established a good relationship with media and he understands that they are doing their job and are not the enemy of the state, instead they are toll to disseminate government news. Some journalists take a posture of being against government as if they live on another planet. I believe we all need each other in building a better country or society.
16 Availability of Government Spokespersons Comments regarding the availability of Government Spokespersons Slide 16 Verbatim category Follow-up & feedback Availability of government spokesperson Ability to obtain information Queries answered within deadline Knowledge & competency Situation, person & department dependent Ease of process s and telephones are hardly ever answered, promises of forthcoming comment never transpires. It depends on the department and person. Some departments operate efficiently with due regard to deadlines, others just don t care. 5% 5% 11% 11% 21% 21% They are not seen as a conduit to the media by their own managers, especially regarding queries. I believe there is a culture in government departments that their communications people are there just to make announcements. 26% When there are hot issues, spokespeople switch off their phones, e.g. after announcement of PWD moratorium. They never react to messages.
17 Turn-around time by Government Spokespersons Comments regarding the turn-around time by Government Spokespersons Verbatim category Slide 17 Follow-up & feedback Situation, person & department dependent Queries answered within deadline Turnaround time Follow-up & feedback is very important with regards to the availability and turn-around time by Government Spokespersons. It must be said there are a small number of truly excellent media liaison officials among the bigger mediocre collective. With those professional few, it is a pleasure to work with and the public interest is served. 6% 12% 37% 44% As said previously, some never return calls, or they refer me to colleagues who in turn never return calls, or give one-liner responses, not actually answering the specific questions asked.
18 Government Spokesperson Empowerment Comments regarding Government Spokespersons feeling of empowerment Slide 18 Relationship Involvement Reporting structures Don't know Trust & respect Not applicable Attitude towards media Verbatim category Relationship, involvement & reporting structures are the 3 most important factors regarding the empowerment of Government Spokespersons. The media in my province and I have relatively good relations. I enjoy a good relationship with my political principals, as well as my colleagues in the communications fraternity While we certainly optimise our role on behalf of the department, it doesn't mean the media is interested in what we have to say. There will always be constraints as in any big organisation. In this case, there are departmental and government policies and structures that have to be adhered to.
19 Relationship - Comparison Highest scoring statement On a scale ranging from '0' (Much worse than expected) to '10' (Much better than expected), how would you rate the following? You may also choose any number in between, depending on how strongly you feel Please rate the following statement: Survey Score Very Poor (0, 1) Low to Mid (2, 3, 4) Average (5) Mid to High (6, 7, 8) Excellent (9, 10) Your understanding of the difficulties under which a journalist has to work. Government Spokesperson 7.5 9% 14% 36% 41% Your understanding of the difficulties under which a government spokesperson has to work. Journalist 5.1 5% 28% 28% 36% There is a much better understanding of the difficulties faced by Journalists, compared to those faced by Government Spokespersons, which could be as a result of their relationship. Slide 19
20 Understanding Government Spokesperson difficulties faced Comments regarding the Journalists understanding of the difficulties Government Spokespersons face Slide 20 Verbatim category Part of your role Pressure & tight deadlines Don't know Don't understand their difficulties Operate under instruction Follow-up & feedback Spokesperson availability Communication Understanding of role What difficulties? Everyone has a difficult job. But if you get paid to do a job, just do it. 6% 6% 6% 6% Always sensitive to these challenges, but more often than not under pressure to get the story before it becomes yesterday s news. 11% 11% 11% 17% 28% Understanding their difficulties is one thing, but their ability and that of their management to handle these difficulties is another I only understand that they rely on other people for information and have to get through red tape to dispatch the information.
21 Understanding Journalist difficulties faced Comments regarding the Government Spokespersons understanding of the difficulties Journalists face Slide 21 Understanding of role Pressure & tight deadlines Operate under instruction Information disemmination Verbatim category Government Spokespersons have a good understanding of Journalists role, including their pressures and deadlines, which again could be as a result of the good relationship. I have worked as a journalist myself who had to adhere to set deadlines and the like. 8% 17% 25% My career in Government Communications started off in Journalism, so I do appreciate the challenges and I often speak to them. 5 I fully understand the conditions under which journalists work, ranging from tight deadlines to poor resources in the newsroom and News Editors who have to please the "commercial or finance" bosses.
22 Nature of Relationship Good Faith Comparison Slide 22 Verbatim categories Good faith relationship Trust & respect Understanding of role Situation, person & department dependent To some extent Communication Earned over time Own interests at heart Verbatim categories Good faith relationship Understanding of role To some extent Trust & respect Ethical conduct Knowledge & competency Situation, person & department dependent Own interests at heart Helpful & willing Professionalism Communication Follow-up & feedback Selective attention/ importance 1 1 7% 7% 2% 2% 2% Government Spokespersons 11% 9% 7% 5% 5% 4% 4% 4% Journalists 18% 29% 57%
23 Nature of Relationship Good Faith Comparison The working relationship between Government Spokespersons & Journalists is mostly built on good faith (bona fide) of each other s roles & functions, compared to a mere 29% of Journalists that think their relationship with Government Spokespersons is built on good faith. The spokespeople I work with fully understand the role I play versus the role he/she plays. It is built on good faith. In most instances yes. My approach is always to build and maintain sound working relations with journalists, even in instances where there is disagreement on matters. Yes definitely. We both understand each other's deadlines and responsibilities although some government spokespeople just could not care. Yes, as a former journalist myself I am able to understand what makes the story.. At no stage do I try to see a non-story to journalist and expect coverage Slide 23
24 Nature of relationship Mutual trust Slide 24 Verbatim categories Mutual trust Ethical conduct Situation, person & department dependent Understanding of role A little or no trust Relationship Knowledge & competency Earned over time Respect Most of the spokespersons were previously journalists or studied journalism as a result. They know the importance of building & sustaining trust with journalists. The level of trust differs from one journalist to another. Government Spokespersons 6% 9% 12% 18% 18% Generally there is good trust but you do find those exceptional ones who really bring a bad name to journalism. 29% Remember there are issues that relating to journalists doing their own investigations and exposes without involving government and the like which really severs the mutual trust. To what extent is there mutual trust for each other s role?
25 Nature of relationship Mutual trust Slide 25 Verbatim categories A little or no trust Mutual trust Situation, person & department dependent Relationship Earned over time Communication Ethical conduct Selective attention/ importance Respect Own interests at heart Understanding of role Racial & gender concerns Knowledge & competency Helpful & willing Professionalism Queries answered within deadline Don't know It is rare. Where it exists, is goes a long way to facilitate proper communication. 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 6% 5% 5% 5% 5% In my experience government spokespeople are wary of the press and prefer to sidestep enquiries or to pass it on until it just reaches a dead end. Journalists 1 14% 14% 21% To what extent is there mutual trust for each other s role? A great deal of mutual trust exists between myself and those spokespersons that I know personally.
26 Nature of Relationship Mutual Trust Comparison 29% of Government Spokespersons stated that there is mutual trust for each others roles and for 9% of them there is little or no trust. From a Journalist point of view, 21% stated that there is little or no trust for each others roles compared to only 14% that said there is mutual trust. Slide 26
27 Nature of relationship Mutual respect Slide 27 Verbatim categories Mutual respect Ethical conduct Understanding of role No or very little respect Situation, person & department dependent Relationship Earned over time Own interests at heart Professionalism Queries answered within deadline Don't know There is respect amongst us as individuals and as professionals. I ve had a situation where one journalist was impossible, but because of the way I engaged with her, she apologised. Government Spokespersons 8% 8% 5% Mutual respect is only occasional. It is there only in well established relationships where both have made an effort to make it work. 14% 14% 38% There is a huge deal of mutual respect between myself and journalists who report on my sector. On my part I must ensure availability at all times (including Minister's availability). To what extent is there mutual respect for each other s role? The fact that we always do media briefings and one on one with the media; it assists in eliminating misconception.
28 Nature of relationship Mutual respect Slide 28 Verbatim categories No or very little respect Mutual respect Understanding of role Professionalism Situation, person & department dependent Ethical conduct Don't know Relationship Communication Not applicable Earned over time Queries answered within deadline Selective attention/ importance It's fairly good - but it also depends on what kind of story is being researched. If it's a negative story, spokesmen aren't happy. 6% 6% 4% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 16% 14% 1 1 Journalists I believe government spokespeople have a disregard for many journalists. At the same time, I believe journalists are unfair sometimes in their preconceived ideas about government spokespeople. 25% To what extent is there mutual respect for each other s role? In too many instances there is little or no respect for or understanding of the complexities of the other's role.
29 Nature of Relationship Mutual Respect Comparison 38% of Government Spokespersons stated that there is mutual respect for each others roles and for 8% of them there is no or very little respect. From a Journalist s point of view, 25% stated that there is no or very little respect for each others roles compared to only 16% that said there is mutual respect. Slide 29
30 Nature of relationship Expectations Understanding of role Ethical conduct Comprehensive & honest answers Queries answered within deadline Knowledge & competency Helpful & willing Trust & respect Professionalism Availability Selective attention/ importance Slide 30 Verbatim categories I expect journalists not to use the trade of journalism to advance their own narrow, political and commercial/ economic interests. Report fairly and where they need clarity, ask for it, don t write damaging stories and request a response late. 24% 21% 16% 16% 8% 5% Government Spokespersons To be patriotic, reliable, understand government and move away from vicious attacks and inaccurate and misleading reports. Most important expectations in supporting your role An attempt to understand how government works, rather than subjecting everything to the newsroom s priorities and possibility of a juicy story
31 Nature of relationship Expectations Comprehensive & honest answers Follow-up & feedback Availability Communication Queries answered within deadline Efficiency & effectiveness Trust & respect Ethical conduct Helpful & willing Knowledge & competency Professionalism Not applicable Understanding of role Slide 31 Verbatim categories 1 1 6% 5% 5% 5% 2% 2% Journalists 29% 11% 11% Comprehensive & honest answers is one of the most important expectations for both Government Spokespersons & Journalists. Most important expectations in supporting your role
32 Nature of relationship Suggestions Ethical conduct Knowledge & competency Comprehensive & honest answers Understanding of role Trust & respect Regular meetings Relationship Queries answered within deadline Other Level of experience Slide 32 Verbatim categories Once again it is crucial to approach us with integrity and honesty rather than trying to be manipulative and playing with closed cards. Government Spokespersons 6% 6% Journalists must have a better understanding of the environment a department operates under and know which SOEs resides where.
33 Nature of relationship Suggestions Comprehensive & honest answers Trust & respect Communication Follow-up & feedback Ethical conduct Availability Queries answered within deadline Professionalism Knowledge & competency Understanding of role Regular meetings As promised Other Reporting structures Slide 33 Verbatim categories 2% 2% 5% 5% 5% Journalists 8% 8% 8% 7% Comprehensive & honest answers is the most important suggestion for both Government Spokespersons & Journalists in support of improving their relationship % 14%
34 Function as Government Spokesperson Government spokesperson functions Popularising the work of government through the mass media Information dissemination Other Lobbying support We can work without mass media but due to limited resources, we need them to help disseminate information and popularise the programmes and activities of my department. Government Spokespersons 2 18% 59% Other Categories: Providing & facilitating strategic, departmental objectives and information to citizens and stakeholders. Regular interaction with the media and identifying platforms for the Minister and Deputy Minister. Manage communication - in particular media liaison - to push forward government programmes and projects aimed at improving service delivery. Slide 34
35 Index Methodology & Sampling realisation Engagement Summary Results Conclusions Slide 35
36 Conclusion Engagements with Journalists and Government Spokespersons primarily occur on a weekly basis. From a Government Spokesperson s point of view, they have a good working relationship with Journalists. They have an understanding of Journalists role, and the relationship is based on mutual trust & respect. Slide 36
37 Conclusion Availability of and regular follow-up and feedback from Government Spokespersons is very important to Journalists. Journalists view the difficulties faced by Government Spokespersons as part of their role, whereas the Government Spokespersons have a good understanding of the role of Journalists and therefore a better idea of the difficulties they face.
